Address Book sync to V400 used to work, now no?????

iSync 1.5, Panther 10.3.9 Address Book contacts to Moto V400 used to work with only occasional reset devices necessary and with iCal as well (the iCal data does sync.) Now I have no contacts on the phone and yet the full set are still in Address Book. iSync doesn't mark the non-sync with any error messages. I have limited the sync to 1 computer and just the Address Book contacts to phone with all perameters of reset device or not tried. Any ideas on how to correct this? It used to work just fine.
1.5 GHz G4 PowerBook 1GB SDRAM   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   iSync 1.5, Motorola V400 phone

I just got off the Phone with Apple Support and they were able to help me fix the problem. Try this:
1) Export all of your address book contacts via vCard
2) Delete all contacts and groups from Address Book
3) Restart your Mac, Address Book
4) Import the vCard contacts back into the Address Book
5) Restart iTunes
6) Sync.
That should do it. Hope this works for you.

    Unfortunately not. No groups and any Mobile Me account here not even many contacts (436) and any duplicates except in Ical after having restored my iphone 4 times. Something strange too, 2 weeks ago, Isync was running while I'm not registered on MM nor Icloud (turned off on my iphone) . Maybe a conflict between Outlook, Addressbook, Itunes and Isync on SL....I'm going crasy with this issue It reminds me of Windows ! Thx anyway, I'm gooing to contact apple in the following days.

  • Syncing iPhone to iCal and Address Book and vice versa do not work

    I am a 6 year Mac user and a 1 1/2 year iPhone user. What I am about to tell you should have been addressed long ago. When I sync my iPhone to my iMac only the applications and music sync. Neither data from the iCal or Address Book sync either way. I used to be able to sync appointments from my original iPhone to iCal, but my 3G phone does not sync at all. Could you tell me where to turn or what to do. I think I need to fix it.
    And, how do I change the calendars on the iPhoen. All events are on the same calendar and I can't figure out how to specify a calendar for an event. You would think I would know this by now, but I don't......Thanks so much

    If you have selected the Address Book and iCal under the Info tab for your iPhone 3G sync preferences to sync contact info and calendars with and this is not working, try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
    Quit iTunes, the Address Book, and iCal first. Launch iSync and to to iSync preferences. After selecting reset sync history, restart your Mac and try syncing this data again.
    When creating a new calendar event, there is a selection for which calendar you want to place the new event in if you have multiple calendars.
    If you have multiple calendars, you can select the calendar you want to create the new event in. After launching Calendar, there is a Calendars selection at the top to view all calendars. You can select a calendar to view all entries for that calendar only and for entering a new event for that calendar. Or select All Calendars to view the events for all calendars. When creating a new event with All Calendars selected, you can choose which calendar with the new event entry.

  • Address Book Sync Problems - 8530 and Outlook 2007

    This has been a nagging problem for me for quite some time.  Here's my current status:
    Curve 8530 on Verizon Wireless
    Access to Corporate resources and email via BES
    I also access Gmail from the device
    Right now I am not synching over the air - that has never worked.  I'm using Desktop Manager, and recently downgraded to Version 5.01.  When I connect the device and configure for Address Book sync the application starts the process, then craps out without synching.  I've rebooted the PC, reloaded the application without success.
    And right now the device's address book is blank.  Any ideas?

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Given that you are on BES, why in the world are you putting up with it's non-functionality? With BES, you should be receiving Over the Air (OTA) sync of email, contacts, calendar, tasks, etc...no need whatsoever to synchronize to Outlook via USB tether. If that is not working, then you should do one of two things:
    1) Talk to your BES admins and have them get it working properly for you...you are missing a lot!!!
    -- OR --
    2) Talk to your carrier about changing your data plan and dropping BES -- you are paying extra for a service that you cannot even use!!
    Once you decide which path you wish to pursue, let us know.
    Good luck!

  • Address Book Sync running slow parallels and mac (iCloud)

    Briefly, every time that "address book sync" becomes active on the Mac side, the computer on both the Mac and the Windows side becomes incredibly slow, almost usable. If I disable the "address book sync" through the activity monitor (force quit), the computer on both the Mac and Windows side restores to normal speed. I have 4 CPU's on this MAc book pro and i have configured parallels to 2 for the Mac side and 2 for the Windows side. I have also allocated 2GB of memory to the Windows 7 side which is within the recommended range of 512MB to 4GB (Maximum memory is 16BG).
    I have also noticed in "activity monitor" that the process name "prl_vm_app" can run as high as 200% of cpu usage and vary anywhere from its current level whilst writing this email of 5% upwards. This does not however seem to affect the speed of the computer and again this is being caused by "address book sync". For information I am running Outlook on the windows side and using "contacts" and this is also being replicated on the mac side in "contacts". Whenever I update or enter a new contact in the windows side (Contacts in outlook) then address book sync starts shortly after on the Mac side and the computer slows considerably.
    I have iCloud working on the mac side and windows side syncing my contacts calendar etc.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I have the same problem too. My iphone is not syncing with my addressbook on the mac, no matter what I try, it is very very frustrating!!

  • DM 6-y address Book Sync leads to error code 0x80040fb3

    DM 6-y address Book Sync leads to error code 0x80040fb3.  I have done the following:
    rebooted 6000+ tijmes (or mabe a bit less than that)
    performed a security wipe on my device
    reinstalled DM 6 software several times
    Had "I-Yogi" technicians try to fix
    Used "cellrepair service"
    Bottom line--I'm not a computer guy.  I just want my BB9550 Storm to be able to sync with outlook.  Calendar, Memo and Tasks sync with no problem.  Address books always stops after 121 records are synced and then I get the error code.
    Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results.  I'm now insane and don't know what to do.

    That is certainly one option.
    If you want to continue, here is a KB for activating advanced logging to see if that provides you with anything useful:
    KB01451How to turn on advanced synchronization logging if a wired synchronization fails
    I've also heard on these forums that if you export your contact list from Outlook (to CSV, ASCII or something else), the order they come out in is the same order that the synchronization works in...which might better help you identify the offending record (which you could then delete and re-create).
    Good luck!

  • Address Book Syncing Problems and Won't Restore

    I sync address book between two computers using .mac, and also publish it for another family member to use. This was working fine under Tiger, but I've recently noticed some issues in Leopard. Occasionally, instead of merging records, it will double them up. This morning, I noticed I had twice as many contacts as I should. For some reason, it added my entire .mac address book again back to my computer. Other times it had done that with only a few of the contacts.
    Fortunately, I had done an Archive my address book just the other day. Unfortunately, it didn't help. I went to restore from the Archive using "Import" and "Address Book Archive". It warned me it was about to replace my entire address book with the Archive, but then nothing happened. All my contacts disappeared, but then all of them came back again, still doubled. I know it was not doubled when I did the archive, so it didn't really restore my Archive.
    I finally fixed my doubled contacts problem by doing a one way sync from my second computer (which had not yet been affected by this) to .mac and then a one way sync from .mac to my laptop. I then turned off .mac syncing.
    Then, a little while later I had 20 more contacts! I realized that this came from the fact that the address book is published and the subscriber has editing rights. But she did not add them. It was again a doubling problem, this time in the sharing function. So I turned off editing in sharing.
    All is back now but I won't turn .mac syncing or shared editing back on until I understand what happened.
    Anyone else see these issues?

    leopard 10.5.1 on macbookpro. instructions to fix missing sync for my treo 650 including backing up (exporting) then restoring the address book. i also am unable to restore.
    the backup archive shows 6 MB.
    i click import, choose the archive, verify that i want to replace all. the address book then shows only the address that was highlighted before import, still shows 1152 cards, but no other cards are visible. verified the search box is empty.
    if i quit and restart address book, the original version of the address book is still there. apparently unable to import address book.

  • Address Book Sync iCloud

    I have an Exchange subscribed address book and On My Mac in Address Book - so 2 address books - when I choose to enable iCloud - does it only sync my On My Mac address book or does it also drag my Exchange subscribed address book to the cloud?
    I really would like to get rid of the Exchange address book - it's over 1200 contacts - but I cannot find the best way to import it into Address Book that does not screw up all of the data.

    Save your Outlook address book to a comma-separated plain text spread sheet, and OS X's Address Book application (which Mail uses for contacts management) can import them with nary a hiccup.

  • Address Book Sync is gunking up my MacBook Pro!

    Everytime I first start up my MacBook from either sleep or first turning it on, it's ridiculously slow - everything I type takes about 30 seconds to show up on the screen while the little rainbow pinwheel does its thing. I took a look at the Activity Monitor, and it looks like the Address Book Sync that happens every time the system first starts up is crashing everything else - as soon as I Force Quit the application, it's smooth sailing. I'm wondering if there's a way to make it so the Address Book syncs only when I ask it to, so I don't have to wait 10 minutes to use my computer after first turning it on? Has anyone else had this problem?

    Put one unique entry in both iCal & Address Book on your Mac. These entries can be fake, that doesn't matter, just make sure Address Book & iCal are not empty. Then when you select to sync contacts & calendars on the Info pane in iTunes, you'll get a merge or replace prompt. Select merge.

  • Address Book Sync Program

    Hi
    I am new to the Blackberry. I have a Blackberry 8310 Smartphone.
    Here are a few questions:
    Is there a reliable Address Book Sync Program?  It would be great instead of hand typing it all.
    Also Not related to the address book, but How do you get the smiley's and etc for when you text someone?
    Thank you,

    You can use Outlook for your contacts and then use Desktop Manager to sync between the BB and Outlook.  Thats the best method.
    You can get smileys for BBMessenger only.

  • Google Contact / Address Book Sync

    Google Contact / Address Book Sync is not working for me and I have an iPhone and Leopard, which I thought were the only requirements. I was able to sync my Address Book contacts to Google the first time around, but when I add a new contact to either Google or Address Book, one does not sync to another. Am I missing a piece of software here or is there something I need to do?
    I am thinking that possibly this could be because the sync takes a long time and is not instantaneous?

    I have achieved a sync but I can't identify what isn't working with mine - I can change some data but not all email/addresses are there in Address Book... which is weird.
    I'll try a google forum and see if I can get help and reply.

  • Google Address Book sync

    We are brand new to Mac...iMac. I read somewhere in some of these forums that there was an option to sync my Google Address book with the iMac address book. I read that there was a check box to do this under Address Book Preferences, but the only check box I see is MobilMe, Exchange and Yahoo. Looks like the version I'm using is 4.1.1 (699). Was this an older option no longer available? Appreciate any help and time.

    Hi Randy,
    Is your system completely up to date? Google address book syncing was introduced with the 10.5.3 update of OS X. If you go to the Apple menu and select "About This Mac," you can see what your computer is at. To make everything current, run "Software Update" in the Apple menu.

  • Why has apple taken ical and address book sync away on mavericks

    why has Apple taken the ical and address book sync option away from itunes iphone info tab on the new OS Mavericks ???? Absolutley insane !!!!

    Independent of iCloud, here are a couple more options:
    1)  You could sync with Google
    2)  You could set up OS X Server ($19.99 download on the Mac App Store) and set up a CalDAV server and a CardDAV server on your local network, and use that to sync.  A few articles have been written on that, Google for some of those terms and you should find a walkthrough.
    What you CANNOT do is a tethered sync via iTunes.  Given it was removed, I highly doubt it's coming back.
